Abstract

Objective: This cross-sectional observational study is designed to evaluate direct effects of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (USA) on presence and extent of coronary atherosclerosis by using tomographic coronary calcification scoring on a population asymptomatic for coronary artery disease.
